This is incredible. Hats off to you!
Thank you very much! ๐
Wow, this is very cool. Functional split screen multiplayer is impressive even for a normal Pico-8 game, let alone a tweetcart. The minimalist art even looks nice, too, and the 2-char player sprites are instantly recognizable and extremely cute =).
Thanks very much - means a lot coming from someone with your level of "coded sprite" skillz! ๐
Haha, wow that is impressive for 555 chars! Even the walking "animation". So much detail in such a tiny game. Cool.
(Also appreciate the thematic starfield background of this page!)
Thanks a lot, Tom. ๐
I did originally have a 2nd anim frame (using kanji chars), but alas, it ate up too many chars.
Good ol' PICO-8, breeding creativity through limitations! ๐
The starfield bg was the "King of Workarounds". ๐
I orig had it in the game, but again had to sacrifice it for char count. The moment I realised I could have it on the game page to imply it's the space behind the ship, made me smile ear-to-ear! ๐
Nice! Did you somehow edit the gif to be a perfect 128 frames? Cuz that is a great idea I am gonna steal. :D
Nah, I just made it long enough that hopefully most ppl won't notice it restart. ๐คซ
(I did want a perfect cycle, but with the multiple depth layers, my brain melted at how to calculate that!! ๐ )
Ah k cool!
